New pinball arcade opening this fall
Rumor has it there is going to be a new pinball arcade opening this October just south of Ottawa. They are boasting 35 classic to current pinball games and a few arcade games. Fully licenced with great food and a wicked selection of pins.
Stay tuned for more info.

As a "south of Ottawa" resident, I think that sounds like great news, Geoff! Looking forward to the grand-opening!pinhead wrote:Rumor has it there is going to be a new pinball arcade opening this October just south of Ottawa.

Cool.
Wish there was something west of Ottawa other than my dining room.

There are 23 pinballs so far and a hand full of video games already set up. A few machines are not ready yet. the place is open but not 100% yet. The address is 229 Lewis Street Cardinal Ontario, K0E 1E0. Open 7 days a week, fully licenced and a full restaurant menu.

Re: New pinball arcade opening this fall
All the SS games are $1 for 2 plays, 3 balls per game. The rest are $1 a play, 3 balls per game.
Keep in mind we have not got everything 100%, I need some lamp sockets and other small things to make the games perfect. The games with issues are turned off for now.

Re: New pinball arcade opening this fall
Wait a tick... That's the old Boar's Nest isn't it? For fuck sake... I've been working in Iroquois for the past two years, and for two years I've had nothing to do on my lunch hour AND my company finally decided to move my department back to Colonnade Road (I have been packing up all week) and you put in a God damn pinball arcade 9 minutes away! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!

Holy crap Tim, that sucks! The arcade is the front part of the building, the Boars Nest is in the back. There has been at least one pin out there for years but now over 20.Fifty wrote:Wait a tick...

Re: New pinball arcade opening this fall
Your timing is horrible. I would have payed off your mortgage pumping loonies into your machines. You need to contact the bowling lane on Merivale to see if they are happy with P1AG and if not steal it back from them.pinhead wrote:Holy crap Tim, that sucks!

Re: New pinball arcade opening this fall
Welp, it's Friday afternoon and I drove down from Ottawa after work. Sitting in my truck in the parking lot. The door is locked despite the "now open" sign in the window. Damn. This is prime time and it was a long drive.

You have to go in the side door during the day, the Boars Nest. The front door opens at night.

Looked a little scary. Maybe next time!
Can't wait until grand opening. Definitely would recommend a sign on the door.
